Lawnmower To Blame After Family’s Home Burns

MASON, MI (WLNS)- It took five fire departments from around mid-Michigan to put out a garage fire Sunday afternoon.

It all happened on west Howell Road in Delhi Township, where officials believe a fire started in the family’s garage and quickly spread to their home. Shortly after 3:30 p.m. Sunday fire officials were dispatched to a possible explosion. They believe that the lawnmower parked in the garage possibly started the fire before entering the home. The homeowners tell us that they used the lawnmower shortly before the fire started.

Everyone inside the home was able to get out safely, but officials tell us one firefighter needed medical attention on scene. His condition is currently unknown.
